Javon Wiley

Javon chose to be an organ donor at 15 years old at our local DMV.

The excitement of finally receiving his driver’s license did not overshadow his desire to help others. He was asked if he would like to be an organ donor and turned me with a confused look. He asked what that meant. I explained that if anything happens to him, his organs would be used to save others lives.

Having a family member that has received a kidney transplant, he immediately answered yes!

Every time he showed someone his license, he pointed out that he had chosen to be an organ donor. That was one of his proudest moments! And as his mother, it was one of mine.
